Panel Pot is co-operating with the Cardigan Bay Fisherman’s Association in researching the optimum mesh size for sustainable catches of prawns (shrimps). The research arm of the association is working on increasing the mesh size in the end cones to 14 mm with a view to promoting future byelaws. This can be easily done with our existing cones by fishermen who would like to adapt their existing pots.

Our D shape pot is already made with 14 mm size and has been proved to be a good catcher of these prawns.
